I'm Tom, the founder of Yep Kitchen, and after spending a decade living in China, I set out to launch a brand dedicated to showcasing the bold, umami-rich flavour of China’s Southwest to as many people as possible!
Yep Kitchen shares with you our experiences of authentic Chinese flavours through a range of super versatile condiments.
Our products will level-up all kinds of cooking, from Asian classics to your morning eggs; try and find something they don't go with!

Yep Kitchen Values
Flavour
At Yep Kitchen, FLAVOUR COMES FIRST! We create flavours as we experienced them in China and we achieve this by following the processes we learned while we were there.
One process in particular is small-batch cooking, it takes a little longer, but gives us much more control over the end result, and it's definitely worth it.
All our products are bursting with rich umami ingredients and fiery goodness. 🌶️
Quality
Sourcing the right ingredients is key and we get ours from local producers in the regions where they grow, which in our case is, Chengdu! 🇨🇳
The best ingredients need the best processes, which is why we produce everything in house, retaining maximum quality and ensuring those unique processes are preserved.
Authenticity
We're committed to showcasing Chinese products for what they are, so you won't find any westernised versions here.
But authenticity for us goes beyond just the ingredients and flavours, it's about the artwork we use, the story we tell, and we're so proud to be showcasing China in the way we experienced it! 🚀
Original Artwork
Yep, we've teamed up with the incredible Plastered 8, a creative brand based out of Hong Kong to produce the artwork that represents our vision.
Inspired by the playful style, dubbed "firecracker art", used to decorate firecracker boxes during mid 20th century China and Hong Kong. 🧨
Why wouldn't a chilli oil company use firecracker art? It just makes sense...
Our Erjingtiao chillies and premium grade Sichuan peppercorns are hand picked and imported directly from local farms in Chengdu, we chose the best quality ingredients for our products and ones that support the communities and businesses where they originate. 🌶️
Cold-Pressed Rapeseed Oil
Along with our premium Chinese chillies and spices, we use award-winning Cold-Pressed British Rapeseed oil from the Yare Valley in Norfolk across our entire range.
It's high in omega 3, contains vitamin E and has half the saturated fat of olive oil. 🤩
